Question

write a short note on estimation of measurement​

Answer 1

Estimation (or estimating) is the process of finding an estimate, or approximation, which is a value that is usable for some purpose even if input data may be incomplete, uncertain, or unstable. The value is nonetheless usable because it is derived from the best information available.[1] Typically, estimation involves "using the value of a statistic derived from a sample to estimate the value of a corresponding population parameter".[2] The sample provides information that can be projected, through various formal or informal processes, to determine a range most likely to describe the missing information. An estimate that turns out to be incorrect will be an overestimate if the estimate exceeded the actual result,[3] and an underestimate if the estimate fell short of the actual result.[4] (Contrast with prediction.)

Answer 2

Estimation theory is a branch of statistics that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured empirical data that has a random component. The parameters describe an underlying physical setting in such a way that their value affects the distribution of the measured data.
